My Weekend Agenda: What Actually Happened

By Jamin Greensbury at 12/17/07 15:18

Well, things don't always go as they seem. On Friday, I didn't go and see "I Am Legend". Why? I realized it wasn't worth it. Actually it is, but not on opening night. There would be no way that I would get a ticket, and even if I did, my seat would be horrible. So I went over to my girlfriend's house and ate dinner there. Afterwards, I went home, ate more food, then went to sleep.

Half of Saturday panned out like it should have. The Christmas party at my house went better than I thought it would. Instead of a shirt that isn't my size or even something I would actually wear, I got a gift card to Wal-Mart. Even though a gift card is a one time thing, I'm still going to get more use out of it than the shirt I usually get. After the party a vicious snow storm came my way. I was supposed to have people out to my house, but that didn't go as planned. Only two of my friends came, and they ended up getting snowed in. So the three of us had a Christmas Dance at my house. Our dance consisted of eating, watching movies with my parents and then playing Sorry at midnight. Anyway, the school dance was cancelled, so it worked out in the end.

Sunday, I had no idea what I was going to do. What I did, I must keep confidential. It was the greatest adventure I had ever had, and that's what I'll keep it at. Maybe I'll tell the story some other time.

My Wish Came True

My one wish this winter has slowly begun. After school let out today, a snow ball fight ensued in the student parking lot. As soon as I came out of the building, I rushed to my car to take cover. That's when it all began. Getting my gloves on, I pelted foe after foe with the pristine white balls with splotches of brown in them. No one could hit me, I have cat like reflexes. Until two people decided to leave. Two of my friends, CJ and Burt ran to Burt's car to make a fast getaway. I couldn't let that happen.

So running briskly yet carefully through the snow, I tailed the car. The window on CJ's side was open for some stange reason. So I threw a snowball at the opening, and it went right through (I was amazed at myself). It was then that they drove over to my car. But by that time I had fled clear across the parking lot. My other two friends, Rick and Mack, were standing by the car. I yelled get into the car, but they just don't listen. So I watched Burt put about a pound of snow in my driver's seat and then saw Rick laughing and pointing at me. It was then that my second chance arose.

I ran to my car and told Rick and Mack to get in. Rick listens, but Mack doesn't. As Burt and CJ drove away, I saw that CJ's window was still open. My second snowball went through and smacked CJ in the shoulder, maybe the face. I run into my car, Rick's in but Mack isn't. Mack is about to get in when CJ opens the back door of my car and slams a snowball right into my eye. Now I believe I'm going to develop a black eye. What's the moral here? When someone says get in the car, don't act dumb and meander outside the car, especially if that person is taking you home.

Winter Cometh

Now that the winter wonderland is upon us, what images come to your head? Snowmen, Christmas trees, Holiday lights? Since the my world is covered in snow, I wanted to take advantage of it. I want to go sled riding. So today I asked around and no one could go with me. This made me sad because I really wanted to go. If I had gone, I wouldn't be retelling this sad story. Plus I can't go by myself, because it would be a zero on the fun meter.

You know what else I want to do? Have the biggest snowball fight ever. I can't have fights with my family because they say I throw too hard. The only person I can hit is my dad and I don't want to do that. Why? He'll hit me back twice as hard because he played quarterback for his flag football team for roughly 15 years. So my idea is get people I really do want to hit nd go ahead and let them have it.
